[QUOTE="Cergorach, post: 1113815, member: 725"] Why? When you make rules you make sure that there aren't any loopholes. AV is just working withn the presented rules framework. WotC is also within it's rights to change the license, and it did so, but in an unreasonable fashion. WotC could even go so far to say that anything that's better than their own product isn't allowed anymore. As for the 'spirit' of the license, that's so much 'krap'. Rules are there to be worked within, not within a different perceived rules set. You release a rules set to a potential 5 billion users, there are bound to be people that don't perceive the 'spirit' of the license the same way as some here. These people are not wrong, they don't deserve anger, they are within their rights to have a different oppinion than you. WotC, or at least some elements, did release the Book of Vile Darkness. Then a few months later WotC says happily we don't want such 'krap' in a license that we control. That's called hypocracy. I can also see that BoVD was developed by elements at WotC that are now gone, but i can't imagine that the higher elements would suddenly have such a big change of heart... Now i highly doubt that WotC will change it's license for the better (such as the ridiculous revocation responsibilities in case of breach), and i predict that a lot of the more established companies will drop the D20 logo like a rock (not even Mongoose can afford to recall a product and destroy it).
